Microland announces
the launch of its new Managed Security Assessment
Services offering. The offering provides a proactive
approach to addressing security challenges through
periodical evaluation of applications and networks,
regular risk assessment and remediation of security
loopholes before vulnerabilities are exploited. Managed
Security Assessment Services are a combination of
periodical and continuous services viz., Web Application
Security Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration
Testing, Source Code Security Auditing, Secure Code
Training and Global Threat Monitoring and Reporting.
Security threats are becoming more sophisticated in
nature and have evolved from high profile, mass mailers
and spam to stealth attacks, spyware/adware and phishing.
The number of new threats is increasing at a pace,
not being matched by the time taken to find a solution
to them. Organizations find their IT infrastructure
to be vulnerable on 24x7 basis, putting the business
at incalculable risk. In addition, organizations need
to comply with industry and government regulatory
compliances and standards, such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA,
FISMA, SOX & GLBA; all of which demand assessment
of IT infrastructure security on a regular basis.
This problem is compounded by a myth that security
threats and attacks are completely unpredictable and
that response to the same can only be reactive in
nature. Microland is looking to dispel this myth with
its new Managed Security Assessment Services offering.
Speaking on the need for organizations to prefer a
managed service provider, Anindo Sengupta, Head Services
– Marketing said,” A specialist managed
assessment service provider helps address security
needs on a regular basis in a cost-effective, efficient
and optimal manner. This program allows companies
to focus on business needs without having to compromise
on security. We have seen our existing clients benefit
from increased security posture through significant
decrease in network and application security attacks.”
Microland is looking to target large, medium and small
enterprises across industries and segments with IT
infrastructure. A scalable and flexible program tailored
to the organizational requirements is being offered
on an annuity basis taking care of assessments at
predefined periodic intervals. The reports and dashboard
which are delivered on a periodical basis help organizations
take immediate and corrective action to address security
loopholes.
Further commenting on the solution, Syed Mohammed,
AGM,Security Services said, “We deliver the
service from a biometrically secure operations centre
in Bangalore. At our state-of-the-art centre we use
innovative, contemporary, safe security testing tools,
process and techniques which are based on international
standards such as OSSTMM, OWASP, WASC, NIST and ISSAF
to verify the effectiveness of your organization’s
security posture.
